PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2: Release version patchMost recent version: April 21 2017 (main, JP enemies/E-trials), August 12 2016 (large files). All files up to date.This file contains most of the patch (all the necessary parts, several of the unnecessary ones).Large files (optional)JP enemies (only use if you want the enemy names to remain in Japanese).JP E-Trials (only use if you want the emergency trial names to remain in Japanese).Discuss the patch in this forum.

Note:Bandwidth isn't free. You can donate to the server host by clicking here. All proceeds go to upkeep--you'll even get your name posted on the site here. It only really needs $14 a month to keep going, so anything you can contribute will be greatly appreciated!

If your game patches after you have copied the English patch files over, you will need to copy them over again (but don't do this after a content update, as it'll break stuff).

If you are having trouble extracting the patch to the win32 folder due to 'Access denied', run WinRAR as Administrator and navigate to the rar through that, then extract as normal.

Warning:This is still against the ToS. While it's very unlikely you'll get banned for using it, it's still possible.Using the <target>, <class>, <pa>, <technic>, <et1>, <et2>, <et3>, or <area> macros will broadcast the translated message. Do not use them in public parties.Update August 2014: Episode 3 added the "Default Party Name" option (under basic options). If you want to travel incognito, you will want to set this to "Use name of original leader", otherwise it will name your party based off of the patched name of your current quest.

Translation notes:We went with Dexterity/DEX instead of Ability/ABL or Skill/SKL. I felt that both of those names were ambiguous ("Ability" is a unit special that's not directly related, Skill would make it seem connected with actual skills). Qwerty suggested "Knack"/NAK, which... I can't really explain why we rejected.The "Gulf" line of monsters has been subtly renamed. They are now Gulf, Fangulf, Gulfur, and Fangulfur, because... well... Fangulfur. Garongo is finally properly named. Big "Varder" is being called Big "Vardha" to make the reference slightly clearer.Rewrote the mission descriptions. They were very wordy.Xeno is now Zeno (as in Zeno's paradox). Rodio is now Rogio (as in... we have no idea, really). Maloo is now Marlu (as in the minor planetoid).

Special thanks:scriptkiddie: Making this all possible in the first place.Logokas and Shanic: Assistance with the actual encryptionMewn, EspioKaos, Tycho, Red_Spyro, Aewyn: Translation.Aida and the people here: NPC autowordsQwerty: Menial copy-and-paste (tons of it)

EDIT 1/2/2018: Removed now-broken links.

Patch notes - August 9th* Dragonland quests and Dragonland/Michaela client order names/requirements are now translated.* Navigator and pilot chatter is now translated!* Fixed various bugs, typos, and cut-off text instances.* Fixed the banner not appearing in the middle of the screen for quest acceptance and client order acceptance/abandoning/reward receiving.* Fixed inconsistent terminology for the boosting of elemental attributes on weapons. It is now known as 'Attribute grinding' or 'grind attributes'.* Translated a few Matter Board text strings that were in a different file.* Translated telepipe/select a destination/trying to enter another party's single party area messages.

Known issues - August 9th* The following are believed to be server-side and cannot be translated by a client patch:

Ack, Sega, too quick bringing the server back up. Updated the patch, it works again, the new client orders aren't done, but enemy/item attribute/quest names are. Available here, but I also updated the link in the first post.

Expect a supplemental change in the next few days once someone who's both "not me" and "not on a time limit" looks at it.

Patch update. This one's big in terms of filesize (went from 6mb to 70mb), but not so much in terms of content. Future updates will be split into two parts (since most of the filesize belongs to stuff that's not going to change). Most importantly, the new quests and client order requirements are translated now.

So, posting about this again, since it's become an issue again (somehow).

essen, it'd sure be swell if you could set Agrajag up with PSUPedia (or Arkive) SCP access (and maybe even a subdirectory) for the patch. It'll be more reliable than dropbox, and we won't have to worry about relying on someone else volunteering server space.
